resting in a tiled space confined to new life need not count blessings

now the season of rain in torrential downpours has come

some greens leaves will delight in holding leaffuls of heavenly tears

rainbows  hide upside down smiles for dry enough interludes

You've heard about the Monday Blues well this is Monday WRites (musing on the definition here of rite, as any customary observance for eg the rite of afternoon tea).

And suddenly,

Waiting is the new punishment,  the new caution and the new reward;

So we wait with distance,

We wait with masks on,

We wait for allowed numbers to leave, to enter a room

We wait, in the queues

We wait, about twenty five minutes after the vaccine, before we can leave

We wait,  in the lockdown

We wait, for The State of Emergency to be lifted

We wait, on those "Hi How Are You's"

We wait, for the May Super moon to bloom tonight

We wait, and We wait, and We wait.

Caterpillars In My Plumerias

Yesterday, was held, A National Day of Prayer. We are still in our 3rd lockdown, and in A State of Emergency here in Trinidad and Tobago.

❧✿❧

And, there are caterpillars in my plumerias. I did googling on Caterpillars and found some  interesting info:

The life cycle of Caterpillar symbolizes times when you're dealing with potential and transformation. Caterpillars are associated with good luck and new birth. The caterpillar represents new birth and new foundation and is a symbol of good luck in the early phase of new actions. Caterpillars usually signify a need for gentle and quiet approaches to our activities and endeavors. The caterpillar spirit animal teaches you the importance of patience. You need to wait .When this spirit guide finds its way into your life, you achieve steady progress in everything you do. Yes, you may be a bit slow, but your progress is steady and admirable.

#132: This And That

AND

Haibun Monday 5-24-21: Flower moon
Decked in our 'glad to be out of the house wear'. We sit around tables in the church yard. The plates and cups are made of plastic, so are the forks and spoons. But the table cloths are of the kind, if you spill anything on it, i will have have to be put in the washer, to be laundered and then it must be ironed.
Most of us know one another. A few have brought in a sister or brother, neighbour or a friend. It's a bright night and we sit in an uncovered space, the car park. The old church at that time is still with us, and we pray fervently for our new refurbished church at every opportunity we come together.
How come there is that large lamp over there? The Park and the police station are that way.

Bread and toothpaste,
and a bellyful of smile
that's the way the pandemic,
wings the tarmac

Eye lashes and Masks
Cover those important words
unspoken yet conveyed
Keep those thoughts stored

Appointment and jab
Before a vaccine dab
two doses of sleepless nights,
eyes peeled microscopic visions

All our heroes applaud
Songs of gratitude to laud
Faces uncovered for smiling lips
And a hug at every corner, bliss.
